Bohemian Woodland Wedding in Florida

Lindsey Lyall (28 and a science teacher) grew up on her family’s horse farm, exploring the woods and building tree forts. Her love of the wilderness came back into play years later when it was time to marry her love Andrew (Andy) Wilcoxen (27 and an accountant)—the pair held their ceremony in an oak grove on the property and threw a bohemian celebration at the polo club next door. They hung twinkle lights, lined the aisle with vintage rugs and incorporated lots of natural touches.
Lindsey wore an embroidered lace gown, Dr. Martens and an on-vibe felt hat with a crown of dried flowers. Lindsey designed the watercolor save-the-dates that previewed the rustic outdoor wedding, while a customized Minted suite carried the same feel to the invitations. Vintage doilies and runners, brass candlesticks and wood accents decorated rustic farmhouse tables. A mix of greenery and blooms in shades of burnt orange, peach, brown and cream tied the whole scene together.
Andy crafted the stained plywood board that held the seating chart—Lindsey decorated it with wire hoops, faux eucalyptus, pine cones and dried orange slices. An Irish folk group (a nod to the couple’s Celtic heritage) played during the ceremony and cocktail hour. “We didn’t want our favors to go to waste,” Lindsey says. “So we picked glass goblets for guests to use as cocktail glasses for the night and they doubled as gifts.”
Guests mingled under a giant illuminated oak tree and relaxed on hay bales around cozy bonfires.
